Set A Video Ringtone On iPhone (iOS 5)

Step 1) – The first thing you will need to obviously do is Jailbreak your iPhone running the iOS 5 firmware. To do this please visit iJailbreak’s How To Jailbreak Section.

Step 6) – Next tap on the video you wish to download and you will come to a page with two options – Download or Video Stream. The Download option will actually download the video to your iPhone, while the Stream option will simply allow you to preview the video. After you have found the right video click the Download option.

Step 7) – When the video has finished downloading go into the Video Calls tab (this is where all of your downloaded video ringtones will go to). Now click the switch next to the video you wish to set as your default video ringtone.
